Packing and Lists

In just a weeks time, we will be headed to meet out boys, Benjamin and Elijah!  We are working from lots of lists of what to pack for each person and "the new boys".  Our children are creating cards of welcome since they aren't going to be there to meet them right away and excitedly talking of the welcome off the plane.  

We still are selling scarves to help raise funds for our adoption!  Please consider a purchase to help us finish strong.

This is our Reeces Rainbow account.  This is a tax-deductible way to help us bring home our boys Ben and Eli. The end of the year is coming and these funds help out at the end of our adoption process which we are at now.  We travel in a week.  Please consider helping us here.

God Bless and thank you!

But this post is about the scarves that Jess made for us....she donated them to us for our adoption.  Some have sold....exciting to see and I have relisted them individually...all 19!  If you don't see a color you want....let us know.

Each scarf is $25 and that includes shipping.  If you are local....we could meet up and that would save you the $5 shipping.  It is pretty easy....each one has a number.  Leave a comment in the comment section of which ones you are interested in and we will get it out to you.  

Thanks for looking!  God Bless!

Trail Ride

We had a busy weekend here but Jess was home and offered to take some of the kiddos out with the horses on the trail.

With 2 sick and one with their allergies kicking up....it was easy to decide who was going.

She loved all the progress she has seen with the kids working in the natural horsemanship program....bravo to horses and rider alike!

Details --Adoption

IWe've been working on travel details to get our boys.  Lots of papers flying through our hands as well as emails back and forth between China, our agency and home.

Looks like the Lowman team will fly out on the 8th of October with a hopeful return of the 24th.  The actual "gotcha day" is the 12....a special day in our family as it is my moms birthday ....exciting!

We are making plans daily....lots of excitement here!

TA

We have travel approval this morning for these 2 boys!  Details to come....

This Little Book

I have had this little book for years....and have loved its truths for our children.

I have just rediscovered it when our home school moms group settled in it for our yearly Bible study. It has been so refreshing and eye opening to pray these scriptures for my children and see God's work in their lives and record it in my prayer journal.  I am seeing God answer prayers and am praising him for it.

Sweet mornings raising my children up in prayer.

Milford Fire Tower

One of our summer goals was to hike 5 fire towers so that we could get the Tower patch issued by the state of NH for anyone who hikes to the top of 5 fire towers.  This was our first of the summer even though it is September (better late than never) and was a relatively easy climb.  Darrell's sister and mom were along with us too.

The views were amazing!

So we're our climbers...

A fun day....4 more to go!

We have Article 5

Bright and early this morning we received our article 5....next step is travel approval for these sweet boys!
